Method for disinfecting dental impressions

摘要

A method for disinfecting a dental impression. The impression is exposed to a germicidally effective amount of ultraviolet light within a drawer in a box-like apparatus. The interior of the housing is mirrored, and supports are provided for holding the dental impression above a flat horizontal mirrored surface within the drawer as the drawer is moved inwardly and outwardly of the housing. The ultraviolet light is provided within the drawer when the drawer is closed, so that at least a portion of the ultraviolet light is reflected off of the horizontal mirrored surface and against the bottom of the dental impression.
